up to 19.0 we were able to update our installations - obviously x86 installation. But 19.1 update is missing. And I have required = 0 although I have several 19.0 installations which ask their users to update.

I think, MS messed something up with the wacatac detection. We had faklse positives for docker containers when updating docker

well... the update from vendor is here
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706495

they disabled it on purpose and if you ask them, how enterprises should update a vulnerable version on already installed devices, they literally say - and yes, this is a REAL QUOTE!

You know, actually that's not my problem.  I don't give a ....

Can you please tell me, what the new parameters are? We don't have base installs licensed so I have to create this on my own now

looks like there is an issue with latest ghostscript update

guess the parameters changed

bad thing: the uninstall of the previous 9.x was already done

Hi all,

besides all the other flawlessly working applications, I really struggle in keeping OBS up to date with SCCM/PatchmyPC.

There are just too many dependencies like Teams/virtual camera, Creative Cloud Desktop,.... Of course everybody is using them all day long, so therefore without killing these processes, I will never be able to update OBS.

How did you guys handle this or did you just give up on OBS?

[Application1]

I'm at this point as well right now.

For Citrix Receiver, there is a pretty good clean up tool, which doesn't care if it was installed as user or system: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX137494/receiver-cleanup-utility

A little bit difficult is detecting user installations and running system uninstallation
Maybe something like this would work:
Application1 (dummy application, does nothing at all) running as user with detection script like

Code Select Expand

if ((Get-ChildItem -path $env:localappdata\Pathto\Citrix\Receiver.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).exists) {Write-Host "True"}Application2 superseding Application1 also running as user and creates a dummy file where user can write to (like c:\temp\citrix.tmp)

Code Select Expand

if ((Get-ChildItem -path c:\temp\citrix.tmp -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).exists) {Write-Host "True"}Application3 deployed as system with detection c:\temp\citrix.tmp does not exist

Code Select Expand

if (!(Get-ChildItem -path c:\temp\citrix.tmp -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).exists) {Write-Host "True"} and running Cleanuptool and deleting citrix.tmp file

not tested... just some brainfarting


For Citrix Workspace, there is no such tool

Hi all,

yes, this question is not caused by PatchmyPC itself, but I hope to find some others struggling with the very same problem.

If you use the Dell driver catalog with SCCM you might frequently stumble across driver updates which just don't work - most likely "not detected after installation completed".

So you can use PatchmyPC to actually have a look at the rules for those updates (sadly, you cannot edit them by now)

Let's have a look at this driver, I am currently struggling with:

This is the IsInstalled rule

Do you know an easy way to manually check these rules? Without manually taking line by line, decoding to plain text?

I mean.. I can start by using

Code Select Expand

(Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\Dell\sysinv" -query "SELECT description FROM Dell_SoftwareIdentity WHERE Description like 'Dell:DRVR_%'").Description look for matching IDs and go on and on. But maybe you had the same issues and actually found an easier solution.

I have PMPC on a Win 2012R2 and I cannot download e.g. the Tableau Update, because my 2012R2 and the tableau.com server have no TLS ciphers in common.

tableau.com offers three ciphers and none of them is available to 2021R2 (IE, Powershell)

Is there a way to use Firefox for downloading content?

Citrix Files' autoupdater wants to install a newer version than PatchmyPC catalog is aware of.

So, if a per-user install of the product is performed the installation using the SYSTEM-wide install won't work?

Yes.

And the real funny part is - but that is off topic to PatchmyPC: The new version needs a new VC++ runtime, which cannot be installed as user.

I wondered, why so many of my machines have 0x80240022 in wuahandler.log for some days now. Some hours later, I think I found the reason: the context Citrix Workspace App was installed with

There are two ways to install it initially:
- as User
- as Administrator/SYSTEM

If a user is offsite and wants to access your Citrix resources, he can install the Workspace App from citrix.com on his own - no special privileges required. Which actually is great.
But if he did so, the updater started in SYSTEM context by SCCM cannot install the update anymore. Which REALLY sucks.

This means, before SCCM/PatchmyPC can update the Workspace App, it has to uninstall any old version first.

It is working again. So it pretty sure was the running clean-up. Thanks

WID and I think you named the reason.
I use "Adamj Clean-WSUS" and as it is 1st of October, it is still running right now.
So I guess, this might be the reason and I'll check back tomorrow

Wow Justin, do you ever sleep?!
